I have to that my less favorite is Nightmare, his battle (second form) is way too easy, even for Kirby standards. He's also never hinted at during the game at all, while all the other listed villains at-least appeared once before the final battle.

Yin-Yarn: An original villain at least... and was there the whole game. HOWEVER, the battle was completely anti-climactic, was the worst and least original BOSS of the entire game, and unlike every other Kirby Final Boss ever...didn't actually have an original Boss theme... and even if it did, the Pinball Mash-A fest wouldn't allow you to hear it anyway...

Dark Nebula: Apparently the ruler of the underworld...got locked in a chest. A chest we thought the whole time was cake. Cake that Kirby decided to go on a grand killing spree for. No build-up, and in fact, if Kirby instead went to the bakery to grab another slice, it wouldn't have been released, and everyone would go on their merry way. But moving on to the battle itself... Its a Black Star with an Eye... that's fine, but its nothing more than a Miracle Matter wannabe with only 3 powers, and dies in a few seconds... And that's it. At least Miracle matter was invincible to all powers but the element it was, Dark nebula simply gets owned by ALL POWERS, ALL THE TIME.

Dark Nebula being the ruler of the underworld was a bad translation (Kirby games were in kind of a rut in terms of localization quality between Nightmare in Dream Land and that game). In actuality, Dark Zero was the lord of darkness. Contrast with Nightmare's role in the anime as the emperor of darkness... Anyway, I would vote for it, but frankly I don't even consider it a villain - if anything, Daroach was the real antagonist of the game. Dark Zero basically became the final boss and was there for the ride. In its first taste of freedom since somehow becoming Dedede's royal treasure for who knows how long, it tried to gain a body, then failed and tried to escape from Kirby until it was cornered and weakly defended itself to the last. I actually feel bad for it...

Let's see... I like all the classic villains, and Drawcia and Magolor weren't so bad. I'll give Yin-Yarn a pass because the game was lighthearted enough (even for Kirby). So for me, the decision rests between Dark Mind and Necrodius, even though they're both important to their title's gameplay. Dark Mind indirectly made Dark Meta Knight, which created the multiplayer Kirbys and (theoretically) split Meta Knight's heart between good and evil halves. Necrodius was pretty much the closest at killing Kirby (though off-guard) out of all the villains, plus Mass Attack wouldn't make sense without him in the story. But what are these villains? At least the others had some semblance of background (however little). Dark Mind at least had a relatively tough series of fights - I don't know what was up with Necrodius, and why his design changed in the fight compared to cutscenes. Heck, even Mass Attack's sub-games are there to remind us that there are better Kirby villains.

So ultimately, I'm going with Necrodius.

^ Thanks man! I feel kinda bad for not knowing that about Dark Nebula/Zero already as big of a Kirby fan as I am... As for Dark Mind, I always thought of him as a Mirror World version of Zero... but yeah, there's really not much explanation of WHAT he is...
